Hey, Happy Wednesday! I love that this is a shorter week due to the long weekend. I’m currently listening to the Heartless Hunter audiobook and I’m really loving it so far. I think I’m about halfway. And I’m reading the physical copy of A Fate Inked in Blood. Action packed thus far, really enjoying it.
Oh yeah that cover (A Fate Inked in Blood) for some reason, gives me the creeps. LOL!!
Yea, it’s the eyes, I think. It’s because of the mythology aspect here, Maryse! 😂🤣 I watched some kind of Viking show a few years ago. Maybe it was called Vikings? I dk, but I was really into it. It gives same vibes and I can picture the mc’s so well and 🔥!
